Generally not, since an XML parse, by definition, parses XML and plain 
text is not XML.  What I've done in such situations is to write a parser 
for the source language (whatever kind of language is in the text file) 
using tools like lex and yacc (and the Java equivalents) and write 
simple production rules to generate meaningful XML.  From there, you can 
use XSLT to further process the file contents, and *that* is where an 
XML parser can be useful.
